Eight Elements of General Design Control for Medical Devices

General Design control involves eight elements: design plan, design input, design output, design verification, design validation, design transfer, design changes, and design reviews.
Validated tools should be used during the design implementation phase, but if not possible, standard tools in the medical industry should be used.
All design documents must be revision controlled.
Design input involves identifying and documenting the needs and requirements of customers, including users, distributors, manufacturers, regulatory agencies, and marketing and sales companies.
Conflicting design inputs should be resolved based on prioritization of safety followed by efficacy.
Design output involves translating product requirements into design specifications that address all input requirements, including functional, material, manufacturing processes, packaging, sterilization, labeling, and marketing claims requirements.
The project leader is responsible for documenting and approving the design output as being in conformance with the design input requirements.
Design verification involves testing to confirm that the design output meets the design specifications through activities such as design reviews, qualification testing, and comparative analysis with proven designs.
Design verification records must include a complete description of the design tested, methods used, and conclusions reached.
The project leader is responsible for documenting and referencing the results of design verification in the design history file.
Design validation involves testing to confirm that the design (including device, packaging, and labeling) conforms to customer requirements under defined operating conditions.
Design validation must be performed on initial production units, lots, or batches, and results must be documented and referenced in the design history file.
